Windows 7: BSOD when computer sits for a while - Think it might be Wireless mouse

BSOD when computer sits for a while - Think it might be Wireless mouse

Hello,

I've got an interesting problem that has recently cropped up.

I like to have my gaming PC hooked up to my television with an HDMI output. I have a 700W Power Supply, and it is running a Radeon HD 6770. I bought a cheap wireless mouse and keyboard to help me reduce the clutter in the house. Once I purchased the wireless mouse and keyboard, my computer would just not be stable anymore, if I let it sit overnight, the computer would inevitably have to be rebooted (typically by disconnecting the power from the power supply). I took the computer down to my basement and started troublleshooting it from that point. The computer still exhibited the loss of stability, it crashed on me on a couple of occasions when not doing anything to it. I decided to take all of the USB connectors out (X-Box controller and wireless mouse and keyboard), and see what happened then. Once I disconnected the wireless mouse and keyboard fob, the computer stayed alive for an entire week. I chalked it up to just having a cheap wireless mouse and keyboard that doesn't play nice with Windows 7, so I bought a new Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard 2000, and moved it upstairs. After about six hours in the living room it crashed again. I'm hoping that someone can take a gander at the minidump file and help me figure out exactly what is going on with my machine.

DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught. This is
because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the
administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.
If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will
be among the most commonly seen crashes.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000091, A driver switched stacks using a method that is not supported by
the operating system. The only supported way to extend a kernel
mode stack is by using KeExpandKernelStackAndCallout.
Arg2: 0000000000000002
Arg3: fffff88002fdffc0
Arg4: 0000000000000000

Anyway, the problem driver seems to be Ralink RT2860 series Wireless LAN Car, form the driver's name. Some other manufacturer also uses this driver, but due to lack of information supplied by you, we cannot say that it is relink with certainty.

That is a USB dongle, I guess? It is blocking network to work properly, it is making the USB ports fail. If it is ralink, update the driver from MediaTek - Downloads Windows. Otherwise update it from the manufacturer's site.

Thank you so much for trying to help me. I used the SF Diagnostic tool from the website, and used the grab all functionality. I think this is what you are looking for. Could you let me know if I should proceed with the ralink driver update.

It is not very specified which one is this. You know the manufacturer of the LAN card I guess? Search for driver updates from their site. If no update you can find, better you opt for another device. Or use the Realtek ethernet connection.

BSOD after computer sits idleAbout 5 days ago I noticed my computer would restart itself at some point during the day. I caught it in the act once, and it was a BSOD. I didn't have a chance to catch the type of error. My best guess on the timing is about 2 hours of idling.
I haven't made any hardware changes recently. I've...
